First Look at Brad Pitt

First look at Aldo Raine

October 17th, 2008 - 5pm GMT / (posted by Sebastian)

Let me introduce you to the principal Basterd, the head honcho Basterd, most Inglourious of all Basterds, Lt. Aldo Raine (insert applause here). We've got a first look at Brad Pitt in full resistance fighter gear for you. Remember, this ain't your Warner Brothers 1950s WW2 hero, this is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee, a man with a scar around his neck that "will never once be mentioned," this is Brad Pitt in one hundred percent Quentin Tarantino Nazi-scalping business. If you drooled over those few pictures of the farmhouse set we ran last week that almost killed our server, get ready to see the site slow down in a few hours. Here's a little quote from the much quoted Aldo Raine opening speech: "? I sure as hell, didnt come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half Sicily, and then jump out of a ****in air-o-plane, to teach the Nazi's lessons in humanity." So click on Brad Pitt here to the right?. and stay tuned for more inglorious coverage of Inglourious Basterds

The film that singlehandedly proves that movie fans can be excited about a film despite horrendous misspelling, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, has a release date - and it's August 21, 2009.

The World War II-set film stars Brad Pitt as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, the leader of a group of Jewish soldiers carrying out targetted acts of retribution against the Nazis in Occupied France. They join with undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) to try to take down the leaders of the Third Reich, but their plans bring them into contact with a Jewish woman, Shoshanna (M?lanie Laurent) who has her own revenge plans.

The new release date for the US puts the film up against horror Final Destination: Death Trip 3D and comedy The Goods: The Don Ready Story. It's a summer blockbuster sort of slot - a similar release date to Tropic Thunder last year - and while it hasn't been confirmed yet if the UK release date will be the same, expect it to come not too long after that day.

Teaser Trailer This Week (Source)

Want to see the trailer for Quentin Tarantino?s Inglourious Basterds? Well apparently the teaser trailer will be premiering on Entertainment Tonight this coming week according to Tarantino Archives, possibly on Thursday as the French site Allocine.fr was the first to claim.

I ignorantly wrote the news off over the weekend as a false rumor because I just didn?t believe there was a film coming out next week for the teaser to be attached to that also targets the same demographic and or is being released by The Weinstein Co. But apparently I was wrong. May-be it will be attached to Friday the 13th? Just seems like such an odd choice.

While the film has just entered post production, the movie is being rushed for a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Thanks to /Film reader Christopher M for the tip.

btw the only quentin tarantino's movie sucked ass was Death Proof. Who's agree? :D

I thought Four Rooms was terrible (though he only did one segment of it) and I hated Jackie Brown.

:o Four Rooms was hilarious. I've never watched Jackie Brown all the way through despite owning it on DVD. I hate really long films.

Four Rooms was awesome!

Jackie Brown - Hated it the first time I watched it, but I have since watched it 3 more times and its brilliant!

Yeah Death Proof was awful, mind you Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror was pretty bad. Infact Grindhouse was just pathetic.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
